Chapter 172: Searching for Meteorites

"Change the subject again, well......, oh yes, did you know that a meteorite landed on our Yunling a few days ago, and it seems to be on the side of Shangri-La?".

Lao Su suddenly uttered.

"This matter has been broadcast on the news, how can I not know, it is said that this meteorite has just fallen, and many cultural jade lovers have begun to form a team to go to Shangri-La to find the meteorite."

Shen Hu added.

"Really? Are meteorites valuable? ”。

As soon as he heard that someone was looking for a meteorite, Huang Ming was very curious.

"Nonsense, of course it's worth money, meteorites are things from outer space, they don't exist on Earth, and if meteorites contain some elements that are not available on Earth, then you will be rich."

Shen Hu immediately began to popularize science to Huang Ming.

"You just blow it, meteorites are just stones from outer space, what is it worth? Unknown elements yet? Why don't you say that there are diamonds in meteorites? ”。

Huang Ming didn't believe it.

"I said Lao Ming, it's really scary to be uneducated, do you know what a meteorite is? Do you know how many types of meteorites there are? Do you know the price of meteorites? Say it and scare you, wait, I'll look it up for you on the Internet."

Shen Hu retorted, took out his mobile phone and began to check on the Internet.

"Cut, then you scare me, I want to see how valuable this meteorite is?".

Huang Ming still didn't believe it.

"You wait, I'll take a look, well......, okay, I found it, this is the market of meteorite trading in recent years, look at this, stone iron meteorite 152 grams 3.28 million, iron meteorite 1019 grams 16.508 million, stone meteorite ......."

"Really? Are meteorites that valuable? ”。

Huang Ming snatched Shen Hu's mobile phone and looked at it himself.

"Isn't it, meteorites are really that valuable?".

Looking at the content of Shen Hu's mobile phone, Huang Ming was a little surprised.

"I told you a long time ago, read more books, don't just know how to play games for a day."

Shen Hu was very proud.

"Hey, I mean, why don't we go and find a meteorite? As long as we can find a small piece, then we will be rich, and what house will we sell"

"Besides, this meteorite doesn't happen every day, this time it just fell to our Yunling, which is a great opportunity for us that is not encountered in a hundred years."

Lao Su was very excited, but no, this kind of opportunity is really rare in a century.

"Hehe, I thought about it a long time ago, so today I took the initiative to wave the flag and organize this party, I have checked it on the Internet, and so far no one has found the meteorite."

Shen Hu smiled smugly.

"No, you're really going to look for a meteorite?"

Li Yanxue listened for a long time, and finally asked.

"Go, definitely go, how can this kind of thing be missed, I sign up".

Lao Su was the first to sign up.

"I'll go too, as long as we can find a piece, we don't have to worry about payment anymore."

Lao Li decided to go.

"If someone in the store needs to take care of me, I'm not going to go."

Yang Xukuan felt that there was little hope and did not want to go.

"Neither of us is going, we still have to go to work".

Li Yanxue and Zhang Mengmeng shook their heads together.

"Since the old man is not going, then I will go".

Huang Ming was very interested.

He didn't do it for money, but wanted to see what was in this meteorite, and whether it could be used to refine magic weapons.

After the day's service, the third morning is the following Monday.

Huang Ming, Shen Hu, Lao Su and Lao Li drove Shen Hu's red off-road vehicle to Shangri-La and began their treasure hunt.

It was late afternoon when they arrived at Shangri-La, and the group decided to stay overnight and research the search route first.

After opening the room, several people got together and turned on their mobile phones, and they all checked and downloaded relevant information about the fall of the Yunling meteorite on the Internet.

Not long after checking, Lao Su let out an exclamation.

"Damn, it seems that this meteorite is a bit big, and the Internet says that this meteorite had an air explosion when it was more than 40 kilometers above the ground."

"When the debris hit the ground, it also caused a small earthquake of magnitude 2.1, which was seen by many people."

"Nonsense, it must be big, if it wasn't big, the meteorite would have burned out in the air a long time ago, let's still look for the range where the meteorite fell, I found it here, it seems to be about 40 kilometers northwest of the county."

Shen Hu said.

"I found a map of the location of the suspected meteorite made by netizens, judging from the map, the meteorite was divided into three pieces after the air explosion, and they fell to three different places, you can take a look."

Huang Ming said as he handed the phone to Shen Hu beside him.

"Well, judging from this picture, there are three possible falling points"

"One is the impact point predicted according to the flight trajectory map provided by NASA, and the other two are the crash points marked by netizens based on the oral accounts of witnesses, which I think are very likely."

After Shen Hu finished reading it, he handed the phone to Lao Su again.

"Since we have a map, let's look for them all, but I think we should go to this Nidine village near Benzilan first."

"Didn't the Internet say that some tourists saw a meteor near Benzilan and felt a significant tremor? Since the tremor was felt, it means that the impact point here is not far from the Benzilian."

Lao Su said what he thought, and handed Huang Ming's mobile phone to Lao Li again.

"It's hard to make sure the meteorite is divided into three pieces, you have to go anyway, you can go wherever you go first", Lao Li also said.

Huang Ming also felt that the meteorite was the most likely to fall near the Benzi Column, and nodded.

"Okay, then we'll go to the village of Nitin near Benzilan tomorrow, then divert to this impact point provided by NASA, and finally search for the Balagezong area."

Early the next morning, everyone drove back to Benzilan from Shangri-La County, and came to the nearest meteorite impact point on the treasure map made by netizens, Nidine Village.

Parking the car at the house of a fellow villager in the village, everyone carried their own expedition camping equipment and headed towards the meteorite impact area marked on the map.

The scenery of the plateau meadow is magnificent, everyone walks all the way to watch the flowers, frolic and play, and from time to time stop to take pictures of the scenery with their mobile phones, send a circle of friends, all the way is smooth, but they do not feel tired.

It wasn't until it was getting dark in the evening that the group decided to stop and rest and start camping.

Taking advantage of the gap between everyone setting up tents, Huang Ming looked at his phone.

There is no signal on the mobile phone, but he has already taken a screenshot of the map made by the netizen and saved it, and there is no big problem with whether there is a signal.

After that, nothing happened, and the next day we continued on the road.

After walking for nearly half a day, they entered the first meteorite impact range marked on the map, and Shen Hu suggested starting from here.

Huang Ming looked at his surroundings and thought about it.

"Either we go to the top of the hill opposite and set up a makeshift camp, and then work in pairs to search in different directions, whether we find it or not, we must go back to the camp before dark."

The people agreed, and they set up tents on the opposite hill and set up a makeshift camp.

After the camp was built, Huang Ming looked at his watch.

"It's a little late today, I'll go to the left with Shen Hu and a group, Lao Su and Lao Li, you go to the right to have a look, don't go too far, come back before dark."

"Okay, then let's try the water today, and then look for it tomorrow in a larger area."

Lao Su was very excited.

For this meteorite treasure exploration, he went to the Geological Bureau to buy a metal detector, and he couldn't help but want to try it, so everyone went their separate ways.
